SuperheroHype (http://www.superherohype.com) is reporting that because of the spat between Jon Peters, Warner Bros., and Brett Ratner regarding budget issues several months ago, Peters will now leave the "Superman" project. Ratner left this past summer due to conflicts with Peters.

The site now reports that "Ocean's Eleven" producer Jerry Weintraub will be brought in by the studio to oversee the project. It is now also reported that M. Night Shyamalan is a new contender to direct the "Superman" movie.

It has been reported that McG, who was originally chosen to direct "Superman" last year, is back on board but these new rumors may indicate that McG is off the project...again.

The site also reports that Matthew Bomer and Brendan Fraser are the top two contenders for the Superman role, with an announcement to be made soon.

Stay tuned as we find out more on this. Right now, though, keep it under your belt as a rumor.

What do you think?

Did anyone see that Rob Zombie movie House of 1000 Corpses? If so, how was it?

I have to say I liked Resident Evil, though it was not as good as I hoped. Dawn of The Dead still ranks as my #1 fave. So what other Zombie video games are left after RE, House of the Dead, and Silent Hill that can be made into features?

zombies ate my neighbors.

FUTBOL!

Say, does /anyone/ remember this one game... Im at my witts end. None of my friends remember it. It was for the NES, I remember my brother renting it in a video store, it was next to the popular titles like Metroid and stuff.

The cover had a train on a bridge de-railing into a river, and there were two dudes on the cover. It took place in the jungle I think. It was a one person, or simultaneous two person game. It was an overhead view game, like Metal Gear. You'd run around, shooting people, and you could hop into these funky little tanks, and use them to drive around, crush people, and the like.

One of the later levels involved you jumping out of some kind of Rail vehicle before it derailed.

I know its a bit off topic.. But does /ANYONE/ remember this game? I remember it being fun, but I only palyed it a bit, and these memories are freakin ANCIENT. So yah.

maybe Guerrilla War?

My first NES game was metal gear, and was the best out of all the metal gear games.

I reiterate:

Metal Gear on the NES is but a pale shadow of the original MSX version.

The diffrence between the 2 games is astonishing.

BTW, you actually get to fight the Metal Gear in the MSX version, a feature that was left off the NES adaptation due to technical limitations.

lol, I always wondered why the final boss was the supercomputer and not metal gear.

My first NES game was metal gear, and was the best out of all the metal gear games.

I got the mod chip + installation for $60, so I'll be importing the new macross game, as soon as it comes out.

well, this actually gives me more time to get money.

yep... Wasn't it also in the american version where hick and min were getting married and all? Anyway... harmony is making me confused...

I believe that is in the Sentinels Movie.

Yeah, I also picked up the Green metallic one last weekend, it's very nice.

It's a Bioroid from the Masters Saga, I have it, but the one that Exosquad made.

Review

First of all, I admit that it’s weird that I am going to review a ‘fan-film’ as, well, it isn’t like you can go out and buy or rent this thing. But you can find it. I got my copy from Kazaa and I found another website online that you can watch it from, so you can see this. And I strongly recommend you do.

Made as a sort of love-letter/calling card, director Sandy Collora has created, with only thirty thousand dollars, what many on the net are calling the best Batman film ever made. I don’t know if I would go that far, but they are pretty damn close.

A short but packed film weighing in at just over seven minutes Batman :DE shows a meaner, darker Batman than we are used to seeing as he hunts an escaped Joker down in an alley in Gotham. The two exchange blows and then a brilliantly written verbal assault ensues in which Joker blames Batman for what he is, for making him who he is, but just as Batman is about to take Joker back to Arkham Asylum something grabs him by the head and pulls him up the side of a building, his laughter dying away as he disappears. From behind Batman comes a low hiss and when he turns around we see it’s an Alien (yes, from the Alien films), and a brief battle ensues before the Alien is taken out by another foe, a Predator!! This is some crazy stuff, believe me. The battle between the Predator and Batman is brilliantly staged and leads to a pretty great cliff hanger that really does leave you wanting much, much more.

Brilliantly acted and written, this is what Batman has been missing, the dark edge. A lot of people will bug out because of the Alien and Predator being in it but they are part of the extended universe of Bats, having appeared in mini-series’ before. And I think the point of them being in it was that he wanted to make a movie that NO ONE would make, that fans would love, but no one would touch. And on that he has succeeded. Very well shot, the film captures the moody atmosphere from the comics and the darker side of a hero that has not been treated well in his past film incarnations. And as far as I am concerned, in Clark Bartram, they have found their new Batman. Wow.

I cannot recommend this film highly enough. This is more than just a great fan film, this is a great film period. And deserves to be seen. Easily one of the best movies the summer has to offer.
